“The strangest place in Gatlinburg!”
Experience the Odd & Weird World of Ripley, where “Truth is Stranger than Fiction.” Three stories of over 500 Outstanding and Incredible Artifacts from around the World surround and Amaze you every step of the way! See an eight-legged buffalo, two-head calf, shrunken human head, and MUCH, MUCH MORE! Enjoy interacting with illusions that will WOW you! Proudly freaking out families for over 90 years! With hours of fun-filled family fun around every corner, Why Just Say It, See It?! Handicapped accessible. Experience the only place in Gatlinburg where you'll find shrunken heads, a 12ft tall Transformer sculpture made of scrap car parts, an authentic vampire killing kit, one-of-a-kind artwork, tons of hands-on interactives, and a wicked spinning vortex tunnel!
Talk about sensory overload. There's literally something to look at in every inch of place but it doesn't feel overcrowded or crammed. I was a kid the last time I went but the next time I'm in Gatlinburg I'd love to go again.
kids loved ut
Took about 45 min to see and next to the aquarium it was best for the money. We went on a rainy day and avoided the big lines.
The kids really loved this. I feel like we didn't even see half of everything that was in there only because with kids you don't have the opportunity to stop and read every sign by the millions of items in here. Plenty of hands on for them though. Worth the $
